TO THE NORTH STAR encourages you to embrace the symbolism of your guiding North Star in this relaxing elementary harp solo. Crafted in the soothing key of D minor, you will see B flat in the key signature and a single uplifting F sharp lever change in the final measure.
Tailored for elementary level players, this piece presents manageable challenges. With simple right-hand crossover scale patterns and basic finger linking to create lyrical phrases, this piece is a gentle choice for successful learning. The left hand gracefully navigates 1-5-8, 1-3-5, and 1-5 patterns, promoting effortless coordination between the hands. Your score includes courtesy fingering and bracket suggestions along with helpful rehearsal marks.

Gorgeous song! I lost myself in the vision of the winter sky, clear and infinite, sparkling with stars with the purest light, searching for my North Star to illuminate my steps. I found it, as revealed by the last couple of notes. What a magnificent, precious gift, dear Anne!!
A question: if I wanted to extend the piece with some repetitions, what structure would you suggest? Thanks for everything.

Thank you, Nicky! If you would like to extend the piece, I would suggest playing to the fermata in m.40 and then repeat from m.5 to the end. Enjoy! - Anne
This is another incredibly lovely piece that inspires me, Anne! Its gentleness & quietude lends perfectly to harp therapy, as well as meditation & prayer.
Thank-you, Susan. I'm so glad you are enjoying it in your harp therapy practice. - Anne
It's not even the end of January and I'm already breaking a New Year's resolution to not buy another piece of music until I learn what I have. However, I just couldn't resist this one.
I love how Anne lists the range needed and the helpful brackets in the music.
Hi Maris, thank you for choosing to learn this piece along with your other 2024 repertoire projects! I'm glad you find the brackets and other little details helpful! Happy New Year! - Anne
